Fiber is Fiberlicious!
April 28, 2012 By

MCTs differ from long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) like canola and olive oil in the way our body absorbs them (more efficiently), processes them (directly through the portal vein to the liver versus as a chylomicron through the lymph), and … [Read more...]

January 23, 2012 By
Who doesn’t remember this famous quote: “I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli.” George H. W.
